The ignorance has spread out of the school system and now is pervasive throughout the society.
As of last month, the Winnipeg (Manitoba, straight north of North Dakota/Minnesota state line, guys) school system is teaching the kids all about the newly-discovered "ancient Maya tradition" that the world will end in 2012 when the Long Count returns to 0.0.0.0. This is, of course, a Native American belief and so must not be questioned. BULL! The Maya had no tales about the end of the world as shown by their date-keeping; when the Long Count returns to zero, it starts all over again. The 'tradition' was started a few years ago by some New Age yuppie zero, likely to sell books. But the kids are being "prepared" for this at a time when gang violence in the same city is rising rapidly and there is no money for anti-gang programs.
It is just as bad in our billion-dollar-a-year-plus national news network, the CanadianBroadcasting Corp, a Government-owned "company" which employs half the flakes in the country. I was watching the news one night and there was a story about some group of "Freedom Fighters" in Central America who were struggling against Fascism with a motley collection of old, cast-off American weapons. They were Communists, fighting against a lawfully-elected government. And I never did find out just when the US Military adopted the (on-screen prominently) Stankovy Pulyemet Goryunova as standard equipment.
Maybe one of our American friends can enlighten me.....
The level of sheer ignorance is appalling... and anybody who is qualified to offer criticism is tarred as a "crank", a "right-winger" or an incipiently-violent nut-case. At the same time, Our Good Pal Fraudulent Immigrant Wei-guang Li is going for walks in his unfenced mental-health "facility". We are not to be alarmed. All Wei-guang did was saw off a man's head on a Greyhound bus, then eat the poor guy's eyes and part of his liver. The police stood around outside the bus for almost 3 hours while this went on. Obviously, poor Wei-guang needed help.
This is the lunacy which infects our countries today. It's just as silly as the US sealng the Canadian border because they have a problem with illegal Mexican immigration.
But for the life of me, I can't see a quick solution except for the few remaining sane ones (us) to get involved and start demandng TRUTH and OBJECTIVITY.... for a change. We have had the politically-correct version of the world for the last 40 years and it isn't working.
